Butterbutt. An older comic.

A four-panel comic titled "yellow-rumped warbler poem". In panel 1, a yellow-rumped warbler stands on a branch in a late autumn scene, and says "Fall is here." In panel 2, the warbler watches a brown leaf fall to the ground, and says "Winter's near." In panel 3, the warbler faces the viewer as brown leaves fall, and says "Need some cheer?" In panel 4, the warbler is showing its luminous yellow rump, and cheerfully says "See my rear."

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

My partner had never seen the work of genius that is the ‘tea consent’ video, so now I’m sharing it here again, because consent explained through the vehicle of tea is the most British thing ever. And also really fucking important.

You've seen fireworks that look like jellyfish, but what about a jellyfish that looks like fireworks? The E/V Nautilus filmed this rare Halitrephes maasi jellyfish glowing like a firework at a depth of 4,019 feet (1,225 meters) off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. (📷: Ocean Exploration Trust)

Today’s AI-generated book promo scam pitches a workshop on my book for “ambitious professionals.” Again, I have no practical advice to offer on temple robbery except “don’t.”

#RomanBritain A probable votive offering found in 19th century excavations at the sanctuary of Nodens, Lydney, Glos. A highly accomplished bronze figurine (10 cm long), perhaps of an Irish wolfhound or sighthound whelp. (Wheeler Plate XXV ) See Alt. For more. #ancient #dogs

The presiding deity at Lydney is named as Nodens on the single curse tablet from the site and on two other metal plaques from the site as M(ars) Nodons and Nudens Mars. The god is also referred to in an abbreviated form (MN) on a mosaic. The name 'Nodens' is Celtic and its etymology may suggest a possible association with catching or trapping. The god is perhaps also associated with the river Severn and its tidal Bore. Nodens is only otherwise attested on two statuettes found near Lancaster, but Nuada, a cognate name, is also given to various figures in Irish mythology.

Amongst the votive objects found at the site are dog figurines, some highly schematic, one amongst the most accomplished pieces of bronze sculpture from Roman Britain. The canine iconography may refer to hunting, perhaps a facet of the god's identity. However, in the Roman world dogs can also be associated with healing sanctuaries.

Johannes Itten : The Encounter (Die Begegnung), 1915–16 Oil on canvas Created in Vienna prior to his Bauhaus period, Itten rendered a logarithmic double spiral blending color and monochrome spectrums into a central core, symbolizing spiritual transcendence following personal grief.
